Chapter 1
Morgana stared blankly into the gaping cave in which she stood. Her cold green eyes glazed and expressionless, her thin pale lips pursed while her long tangled black hair blew over her face in an eerie draught.
"Hello sister" she heard a voice say from behind her.
"Morgause! And what a pleasure it is to see you again." said Morgana her lips curling into a thin smile.
"I feared you wouldn't come." she said.
"But surely you don't think I'd miss a meeting with you, dear Morgana, especially as I come bearing news I feel you might like to here." said Morgause.
"And what is it?" said Morgana, her eagerness becoming more and more obvious by the minute.
"I have found a way we can get that blundering idiot of a servant out of the way of our future plans for you to claim your rightful place, on the throne of Camelot. This beloved pet of Arthur's has meddled with them once to often, and we may not continue until he has been... taken care of, shall we say." Morgause said with a sinister grin spreading across her face.
"But sister, surly you know that every attempt we have made to kill him has failed! Although our magic is powerful, it is still very difficult to disguise. The physician... Gauis suspects us every time." Morgana said bitterly.
"Until now, that is." Morgause said, her grin growing wider.
"Because now, I have found a resolution to this." She said as she pulled out a voodoo doll from beneath her cloak and dropped it into a small pool of water deep within the cave.
"I have already enchanted the voodoo doll so that it's condition is paired with the boy's. All we have to do now is place a simple spell on the water, which if done correctly will infect anything submerged within it. The fool will simply appear unwell and will get worse and worse over time, until he is eventually killed by the sickness. For him to suspect the true cause behind the sickness he would have to be not only a sorcerer but also a seer, and surly he is far too simple to be either of these things." she said beginning to laugh.
"Oh sister, you are a genius." Morgana said, readying herself to begin the spell.
"Amner særnutos demæos, te undai leneon, ugæni lidi duelma, de Merlin a mortis!" Morgause and Morgana chanted in unison.
"Come sister. You must begin your journey back to Camelot soon if you wish to reach there by morning." Said Morgause.
"I know." said Morgana. "And I shall keep a close eye on the boy to make sure things run smoothly. He shall not suspect a thing."
